Well that certainly puts a bit of a damper on things. I always order my TFs through bbts and was counting on them for this too. I'm hoping customs doesn't kill this for other online retailers or we'll be seeing a lot of niagra falls with US customers.

I was worried that something like this would happen. Hopefully Takara uses their marketing brain for once and packages him in robot mode. If they don't, it may be nearly impossible for American fans to get a hold of one. I wonder what would happen if you tried to buy one on eBay from overseas?

You're absolutely correct to be offended. However, 'retarded' is equally offensive to many people.

I stand corrected, you are absolutely right.

Back on subject, I'm pretty sure we'll see similar situations as we saw with the G1 reissue of Megs. Some online stores won't carry it, then some eBay sellers will sell it at a premium price because they have it on hand in the US and then prices will eventually go back to normal levels.
